 loovely - that means new answers :)

 it's actually available by just downloading the sugar "spin" as they
call them, and adapting them a bit to run with the 3.4 kernel.... it's
not hard.  takes an hour or so.

 maaaybe.  have to see.  when i ran the fedora "spin" it really didn't
work too well - i didn't want to say anything, publicly, but also i
couldn't find out how to report bugs!  we'll see if debian or devuan
does any better, soon enough

 honestly after evaluating both Sugar OS and gcompris, gcompris has
more programs.  they're a leeetle slow on this kind of hardware: i'd
also recommend the KDE 3.5 (ok Trinity Desktop) games and educational
software: they're great.  lilyana (my 7-year-old daughter) enjoys
playing hangman, mahjong with me.

 there's lots of options basically.
